I've been hunting for rims for awhile and I've been trying to narrow it down to a few. What do you guys think?
[pics deleted]
I was leaning towards the enkei evo5s but after seeing them in other pics i'm not sure im crazy about them

 

[Plissken]

The first ones.

I like the Evo5's in your pic...I haven't seen them in other pics.

 

[OliverThomas]

2nd ones. Dark car, dark rims. Always looks clean. IMO.

The color looks like it changes in the light pretty drastically

1st ones for sure man not much of a fan of the others

well good thing i'm looking at rims and tires... The car infront of me nailed an entire muffler and pipe assembly and launched it at my car today. Couldnt avoid it and it ripped right through the side walls of both my passenger side tires and gouged one of my rims pretty good. Also did some underbody damage and busted some plastic underbody stuff on the car... Also the car was making a tinging noise needless to say it was towed to the local scion dealer where I'll get the goodnews on monday..

That's some seriously bad luck. My condolences to your ride. I hope your deductible isn't too bad, but you probably won't believe the price on a new wheel from Scion. It's hard to imagine they are so expensive.

This is why we have insurance.

 

[mredz]

I cant make another claim on my insurance. Last year was not a good year for myself and my old car. I got rid of it because of all the bad luck and bought the Scion hoping for a change of luck. I made a video for my last car and here it is

What does a new rim cost from scion? Also are the wheels covered under any policy? I know on my old Protege5 all I had to do was pay a $25 deductible and the dealer would replace the bad tire.

 

[mredz]

Ordered my new rims, I'll post pics once they arrive, decided on something else all together.

 

[lo bux racer]

Nice video. You have some really bad fortune following you around. I'd be making some kind of atonement to my obviously pissed off guardian angel if I were you.

Hope this is no indicator of your tC suffering a similar fate.

pray to the car Gods that they will protect your tC from the fate of your mazda.... good video btw, moving... i think i'll make one once i get some video editing software

 

[Azrael]

Almost made me weep.

 

[mredz]

Here they are!

 

[nY1018]

umm, theyre okay

 

[GA tC]

I guess I am the odd man out. I prefer the OEM ones......

Sorry.....

 

[mredz]

Well since my OEM ones got beat up and scratched I decided to get something different. They only weigh 17lbs a piece and I think they make the tC look more aggresive.

 

[Zygote55]

17lbs is great....how wide are they?

 

[phungy]

Definitely the 2nd one.
